Summary: This week we focused on modeling the attachments for the exterior pieces and beginning the process of our app for our LED System. At the start of the week we talked with Mr. Rojas regarding how each of the separate components would combine to one another and ultimately agreed to create some kind of attachment or mechanism system using dowels or rods to add more structural stability to the exterior to prevent it from collapsing. We also worked on creating the layout of the app by incorporating graphics from Canva and working on TinkerCad for the coding portion of the LEDs. We are curerently using MIT app inventor to create this.
Plan for the Next 2 Weeks: In the next 2 weeks we plan to work on finalizing our attachment system for our exterior mold of our bike and progressing on our app for the LED system.
Monday:
PLTW Step: Develop a Solution
Materials for coding the LEDs
Neda, Kaitlyn, & Venice: Today we talked with Mr. Rojas about possible attachments for the 3D Model. Some of the attachments we talked about were possibly using dowels to connect each of the pieces together or creating divets in each of the separate pieces in order to connect each of the sheets together.
Neda: Begin modeling attachments for the Fusion360 Model
Kaitlyn & Venice: Discuss cut outs for LED attachments on exterior
Tuesday:
PLTW Step: Construct a Solution
App background sample #1
Kaitlyn: Generate concepts on Canva to create the background for the LED app
Considerations for background: Have 3 main buttons to alternate colors: teal, orange, and a Bluetooth button.
Possible rearrangements to be made: alter position of buttons to the left upper corner of the screen.
Venice: Upload background onto the app, and make on/off button and connect Bluetooth to MIT App Inventor
Neda: Work on generating the attachments on the Fusion Model (begin cutouts on individual parts).

Tinkercad Code
TinkerCad Code: Work on channeling the colors for the LED system to alternate the colors and then upload into MIT app inventor.
Wednesday:
PLTW Step: Construct a Solution
LED Control App Sample
Venice: Work on formatting the app for LED control on MIT app inventor to channel the colors between orange and teal.
Kaitlyn: Send over the completed background for the LED app and work on updating the website.
Neda: Model the connectors for the Fusion360 Model
Thursday:
PLTW Step: Construct a Solution
Neda: Model out the notches for the 3D model
Kaitlyn: Update the website and make adjustments to the deliverables (weekly check-ins & calendar)
Venice: Test the coding on MIT app inventor
Friday:
DAY OFF (INSTITUTE DAY)
